Filippo Gambarota

PhD Student - University of Padova

I’m a Psychologist and PhD student in Psychological Sciences at the University of Padova, supervised by Prof. Paola Sessa. My research interests are unconscious processing and the relationship between working memory and consciousness. I am also interested in methodology and statistics, in particular meta-analysis. Outside academia, I am a speaker coordinator for TEDx Padova and I am constantly learning how to code in different languages.
